Compared with the Knights of the Star Realm, the loss ratio of Minotao Chapter is the most exaggerated in a sense. There are only 1 left in 4 combat barges and only 2 left in 12 strike cruisers, which is equivalent to losing more than 80% of the battleships in the battleship. This resolute sacrifice and effort greatly changed Soshiyang's view of this group of people. Even if they relied on the fast speed and randomly squandered the fleet's strength, these determinations for sacrifices cannot be simply explained by "rich family".
The Raiders Team did not suffer much, they only had one strike cruiser and two frigates, and they were lucky and were only damaged.
The loss of so many ships has naturally lost a lot of life, but this number cannot be counted at present. However, the sacrifice list of more than 200 captains is clearly placed in front of Soshyang. Some of them have just left the Naval Academy not long ago, and some have been in service for fifty or sixty years. Most of the captains chose to sink with the ship, and only a few were taken away by their crew members. The losses of these captains are truly irreversible for the Olps guardian fleet, and it may be difficult to fully recover in the next fifty years.
There were also losses from the aviation corpses, from the orbital air fleet of the main star Amara to the fleet aviation corps, more than 3,000 pilots sprinkled blood from the void.
The troops that launched the jump gang war were even more terrible, and one hundred were not present. At present, less than 30,000 people successfully withdraw from the tomb ship, including more than 3,000 wounded soldiers from the Death Legion of Kriggs and more than 27,000 soldiers from the Orps Death Army.
In addition, there are the casualties of the Space Marines. The third company of the Star Knights killed 41 people, and the Minotao team was even more exaggerated, with 576 people killed, which is equivalent to six full-scale companies sacrificing in the enemy's tomb ships. The losses of nearly 600 Space Marines were an extremely heavy number for Soshiyang's entire command career, not to mention that it was just a single casualty.
"I used to..."
Soshiyang said slowly in a low tone, moving his eyes away from the list, and then looking out the window.
"I once had a simulated battle with the commander of Minotao. He commanded the human fleet, and I commanded the fleet of space undead. The scale was strangely consistent with the actual situation... In the simulated battle, I killed him so hard that I was almost defeated. At that time, I always thought I would do better than him... It turned out that I was wrong, and I was not much better than him."
"What about the result at that time?"
Facing Thor's inquiry, Soshiyang sighed softly.
"His result is that one out of ten is not saved, and my answer is half of it...it's almost no difference."
"This is much stronger. At least Orps has a fleet, and there is no way for anyone to come in the technical gap between the two sides."
After Saul finished speaking, he sighed, walked to Soshiyang and stared side by side outside the window.
"It's so cruel... After the arrogant rebellion, I have never seen such a large and tragic naval battle again..."
Soshiyang turned his gaze slightly and asked softly:
"Would it be better if the legion came to fight at that time?"
Thor was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"It should... no, even the fleet at that time did not have the means to deal with the terrible weapons and inertial engines of the space undead. In the end, it was nothing more than a war of attrition. A naval war of this scale, even the Primroots could not do anything... The best way to eliminate these ancient dead species is always before they wake up, otherwise there would always be a considerable price to be paid later."
"Is the massive jump gang of Space Marines not OK?"
"Soshiyan, you should actually know that the success of this jump gang was completely arranged by the other party, otherwise... to be honest, with the performance of the tomb ship, if it keeps a distance and does not join the melee, do you think we can catch up with it? What weapons can really threaten it?"
After hearing what Thor said, Soshiyan smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Do I still have to be proud..."
"No matter what, the result is that humans win. Although the process is difficult, it is like the empire itself... It has been difficult for ten thousand years, but at least it holds on, and if it holds on, there is hope."
At this time, the gate on one side of the bridge suddenly opened. Soshiyan and Thor turned around and saw Talos walking in.
"Talos, thank you for your hard work."
Soshiyan immediately stepped forward to greet him. Talos came to him and took out a data board.
“The reports are all here.”
After taking the report of ground combat, Soshiyan immediately opened the inspection and saw that it took twenty minutes.
When he put it down, the expression on his face became heavier.
Amara's main nest, New Vasburg, was completely destroyed. Among the other two large nests, Karroche was also severely damaged. The upper nest spire was damaged more than 90%, and the middle nest and lower nest were more than 60% of the areas were damaged. Only the Tritus Nest was slightly better. The upper nest was basically intact, and some areas of the lower nest and bottom nest were attacked. However, the space undead here was not very strong. With the help of the Phantom Legion, Tritus Nest was basically spared.
At present, the entire Amara main star can only be said to be a little better than being occupied. The orbital facilities are completely destroyed, the main industrial facilities survive less than one-tenth, the transportation equipment is lost, and the warehousing and civil facilities are less than 13%, and the direct and indirect economic losses are immeasurable. It is equivalent to saying that the achievements of this planet's construction for thousands of years have been destroyed, almost white. You should know that as a world with a high degree of nesting, the Amara main star has no natural environment, and the ice cap part of the north and south poles is still preserved, and most of the rest have become industrial wasteland. Residents rely entirely on artificial facilities to survive, and the nests are the only homes.
Corresponding to the huge material losses are terrifying casualties.
The planet's surface defense war lasted for a full 42 hours. Although a lot of preparations were made in advance and a large number of residents were evacuated, due to the large population of the main star Amara, more than 2 billion civilians died in the invasion of aliens, and nearly 10 billion people were displaced and had to be placed in the already crowded Tritos Nest. It is no longer overcrowded, but even the bottom nest is crowded. If Tritos Nest had not had natural advantages in water supply, it would have probably caused a large number of people to die.
In addition to civilians, the army also suffered huge losses. In order to prepare for war, Soshyan deployed more than 80 million troops on the main star of Amara, of which 20 million were elite regular troops such as the Krieg Death Corps, the Necromonda Corps, and the Orps Guards who had strengthened training. The Star Knights' auxiliary troops were 400 million. Although the rest of the troops were theoretically militias, they also had several months of high-intensity training and were equipped with all light and heavy equipment, which was not worse than the conventional Star Knights' Armor.
